In math today, we got to use what we have learned in class about trigonometry and apply it in the field by finding the height of the Canadian flagpole in front of the school.  Using a trundle wheel, we measured from t he base of the flagpole to a spot that was 7.59m away.   Next, we found out it was 1.54m from the ground to Vian’s eye level.  Once we knew this, we found the angle of inclination from eye level to the top of the flagpole which was 48º.  Once we got back to class, we used the tangent ratio to figure out that the pole is 9.97m tall.
